100 Pound Pullup at BW 160!

Ben Kaminski · 08-10-2006, 01:02 PM

Today I did the weighted pullup WOD and got a PR by a significant percentage. My last weighted pullup might have maxed out at 70#, 4 months ago or more. Today I got 100#, at a BW of 160! I was psyched, though worried that the belt would break. I tried 115, but could only get to 90 degrees. Something to try for next time!

Dang man! What are you on? So many PRs, so little time. Top notch work.

odd how well Ben is progressing now that you've moved to Louisville, eh Scott?

Seems that way...I'm moving back! I think there's something in the water up there.

Good showing Ben! Be sure and give your tendons enough time to catch up to your muscular development -- if your elbows complain, try switching to the rings to continue your progress.

Strong work, Ben!

A 30lbs PR after 4 months of not training that lift? Extremely impressive!
